Week 5 Power Rankings - D1 Élite

They are not the standings, and they are not meant to be taken personally. The goal is simple: place teams where they feel right now, after comparing what we thought we knew through the first month of the season with what Week 5 confirmed, challenged, or completely changed.

Week 4 Power Rankings for the D1 Élite
As always, a reminder before we get into it: this is subjective. These rankings are based on results, game flow, momentum, level of opposition, and the overall impression each team left this weekend. They are not the standings, and they are not meant to be taken personally.

Week 3 Power Rankings for the D1 Élite
1. Black Panthers - Thonon-les-bains Flash 3-0
In what was, overall, a very solid and well-played game, they gave the Météores almost nothing to work with and showed a really convincing side. There were still a few uncharacteristic errors (ATH Bafdile putting the ball on the ground on a punt return, for example) that didn’t end up costing much. The conditions clearly played a part, with the bad weather making execution tricky for everyone. But it’s still the kind of detail t

FFFA D1 - Final Power Ranking
1st – Black Panthers – Thonon-les-Bains
Can someone stall the incredible season of the Black Panthers? Nothing seems impossible for them, as they defeated the Molosses. In fact, the first half was largely defensive. The defense from Thonon had Brody Hahn under pressure on nearly every play.
The first goosebump moment came from Adel Bafdile — we thought he scored a really cool punt return, but it was declined due to an illegal block in the back (maybe opposing special teams
